Community Support
Phoenix is incredibly grateful for the many groups in the community who lend their support to us. Here are two examples.
The Royal LePage Golf Tournament, held at Glen Arbour in September 2009, raised over $8,000! The Royal LePage Atlantic team was even recognized nationally for this tournament and the many other fundraising events they hosted through- out the year in support of Phoenix. Funds raised through the tournament helped to support Scotiabank team of golfers approximately 80 overnight stays at the Phoenix Youth Shelter. COMMUNITY SUPORT
We are very pleased to be supported by such great community partners as the Mount Saint Vincent University Residence Society, the RCMP Veteran’s Association and The Halifax Rainmen
Phoenix was sad to say goodbye to a long time friend and supporter this past year, Ms. Elizabeth Brown (1928-2009). For more than two decades, Elizabeth was a valued volunteer, Board member, fundraiser and ambassador. We continue to miss her greatly. Her passionate commitment to social justice is the inspiring legacy that she leaves us. In recognition of her passion for the cause, friends and family donated over $2,000 to Phoenix in her memory. This provided the young people staying at the Phoenix Youth Shelter with more than two weeks of groceries.

A Parent’s Perspective
While we tend to focus on youth at Phoenix, it is incredibly important to recognize the many parents and families who your support helps each year. We spoke with one mother who openly shared her experience with the Phoenix Prevention Program.
“I initially learned of Phoenix through a guidance counselor at my son’s school almost three years ago and we have continued to be involved since that time.
My son benefits greatly from the one-on-one counseling he receives from his clinical therapist, Alison. There are things that he simply doesn’t feel comfortable talking to me about, so it is so helpful for him to have someone to sound things off of and to hear a perspective that doesn’t come from his The Canadian Progress Club Halifax Cornwallis mother. celebrates another successful Women of Excellence Awards fundraiser in November 2009 Alison also gives me a better understanding of what Thank You to the Canadian Progress Club teenagers are dealing with these days, which helps me Halifax Cornwallis make better parenting decisions.
